Speed

14 to fix35
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 189 KiB

    About 189 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 11.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 11.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 35

    35/100

    Your mobile performance score is 35. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 8.9 MB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8.9 MB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (JSDelivr CDN, website-files.com and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 30.2 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 537 ms

    537 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 537 ms of main-thread work and 16.7 MB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Vimeo adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Vimeo costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 13.1 MB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.0 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • JSDelivr CDN adds 546 ms

    546 ms

    JSDelivr CDN costs a phone 546 ms of main-thread work and 113 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 336 ms

    336 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 131 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • cloudfront.net adds 307 ms

    307 ms

    cloudfront.net costs a phone 307 ms of main-thread work and 31 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • 2,792 HTML elements

    The page has 2,792 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    257 KiB

    7 images could be 257 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    230 ms · 32 KiB

    About 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 230 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Chained critical requests

    Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix35
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 26.0 s

    26.0 s

    Your largest element takes 26.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 28.9 s

    28.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 28.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.7 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 10.8 s

    10.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 10.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 3 images without width and height

    3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 139 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 30.3 MB in 154 requests

    30.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 30.3 MB in 154 requests on a phone: media 22.0 MB (4), images 7.7 MB (125) and scripts 454 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 40 images below the first screen load straight away

    40 images further down the page (2.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 25 images in older formats

    25 images (1.7 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 8.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    8.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.59 g of CO₂e: 1030.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fix80
  • Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children.

    Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children. (1 element).

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 11 links without text

    11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • button, link, and menuitem elements do not have accessible names.

    button, link, and menuitem elements do not have accessible names. (1 element).

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 199 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 86 links with vague text

    86 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

AI search readiness

100
4 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (6,989 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (7 KiB, 25 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

100

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    21 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix92
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (creativedock.com).

  • Valid certificate (85 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for creativedock.com and is valid for another 85 days.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 42 links work

    All 42 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 2 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 45 days

    creativedock.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    creativedock.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 15 years old

    15 years

    creativedock.com was registered in Dec 2010 through Ascio Technologies, Inc. Danmark - Filial af Ascio technologies, Inc. USA. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • DNSSEC is on

    creativedock.com's DNS answers are signed (DNSSEC), so they can't be forged on the way to visitors.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 6,631 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 6,631 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Intro Call with Serge” and “Schedule a call”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 trust badges and “over 70 businesses”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:193.85.157.80/28 ip4:217.16.190.96/28 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k2” and “mail”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
